turned out to be a intake gasket leak best we could tell
we pulled it down all the way and spun the bearings out of it... Cheap
insurance. and magnafluxed the block.. everything looks okay... So it
wasn't in there long and I didn't hurt the bottom end.... interesting
though.. The Kendall oil I was running absorbed all of the water.. there
were no rust stains or anything like that. and I did start the motor with
this problem... to test out the rear suspension..
What kind of Oil are you folks running... I have always used 20-50
Kendall... but Brad and I were have a discussion about this may not be the
best thing for this application....
